Half Day Photography Course

Not much time to learn about digital photography but need to know some basics?

This short digital photography course has been designed for those who cannot commit to the 4 week Introduction to Digital Photography course but still want to know how to use their manual compact or DSLR.

With your camera in hand we will take you to a central location in Sydney and teach you about the different shooting modes in your camera. By the end of the course you will be shooting in full manual mode with confidence.

This is a fantastic course to get to grips with the foundation principles in creative Photography while taking in a lovely tour of the Rocks in Sydney.

All you need is your DSLR, Mirrorless or Manual Compact Camera to do the course!

I attended your Saturday workshop, and wanted to thank you for your consideration and patience. I typed up my scribbled notes and realised that there was a lot of learning crammed into that morning, especially for a newby who had not used any non automatic settings before.

I had tried to make sense of some of the myriad on-line tutorials, but found them confusing and rushed. Your patient explanation of how the settings worked, their relationships and effect were a breath of fresh air for me. I can now see that I need to practice your lessons until I am proficient, but I now have the confidence to do that. Once again, thank you. Glenn

This is a really great introductory course to teach you how to shoot in manual. Scott was friendly, approachable and above all extremely knowledgeable. The content was taught really well and the course was a good mix of theory and practice. Ruby

This was a great course. Scott was really good at identifying where we needed help and what we were doing wrong straight away. I learnt lots of simple tips that I can put into practice straight away, as well as some more detailed information that will help with developing my skills. Jessica

Great course, learned so much in such a short period of time. The instructor is completely knowledgeable and approachable, really focused on ensuring we are learning and getting the most out of the course. Would gladly recommend to anyone. Sharife

Thanks for a great time. I found it to be very helpful and informative. Scott's expanation and guidance on technical issues was clear and easy to understand. I must commend Scott on his patience with us. I would recommend the experience to any keen photographer. Jill

This was a thoroughly enjoyable course! Scott was professional and extremely knowledgeable, and conveyed the concepts in a really fun and easy-to-understand way. Am already taking better photos as a result! Nick

The half-day photography workshop was fantastic! I was finally able to make sense of all the settings and buttons on my new camera, and now know enough to get me started shooting in manual. Highly recommended. Lauren

Before I did Scott's workshop, I was a very keen 'auto' photographer who felt that all the technical functions of the camera were too hard. After a four-hour class, I now understand how my camera works and what an amazing difference to my photos! Prue

I attended a Photo Workshop Australia course early February 2012, with two friends. I could only use my digital SLR camera in ‘auto’. At the end of our four-hour course, I was using ‘manual’ and understanding what I was doing.

Scott McGale, our teacher, was patient and understanding. He explained things in a way we could understand and was happy to repeat until we ‘got it’. So pleased we found this company and recommend them – you will not be disappointed. Gwenyth

I knew nothing about shooting in manual but Scott changed that! He did a great job at explaining manual mode features and made sure we put it into practice in the session. He was super patient and friendly. We had a lot of fun and I would recommend his course to friends. Cindy

I just wanted to say thank you for Saturday! I learnt a lot and now I feel I can go and take greater photographs and start to explore more the creative side of my shots. I would also like to say I appreciated the way you explained things, it was easy to understand and therefore making it easy to put into practice. Thanks! Daniel

Just wanted to say thank you for a great introductory photography course on Saturday at The Rocks. I will definitely recommend the course to my friends and family. I now understand how to use my DSLR in the manual mode and can more confidently use the camera to take some great shots! Ashleigh

I really loved the course and Scott had the patience and time to give us the individual tuition when needed, to make sure we understood everything that was said. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn how to shoot in manual and take great photos! Emily
